Another wedding in the books with Amy! Two weeks after our daughters wedding in March 2016 (destination wedding at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess) her sister became engaged. In true Hernandez fashion she did not want a long engagement. Since Amy had just finished her sisters wedding of course we asked her to plan the next one. This one seemed slightly more challenging given the wedding location would be in Houston (another destination wedding) and a date of 9 months later. Immediately this proved to be as easily orchestrated as the first wedding she did for us. Amy is smart, ultra organized, and conscientious. In two trips to Houston every single detail was planned. Anyone who has ever planned a wedding knows this is not an easy feat. Amy spent a lot of time researching and talking to vendors in Houston until everything was booked and planned to perfection. I think "detail" is Amys middle name! Amy knows how to work within her clients budget and is thoughtful. Perfection is truly the key to Amys success. She listens to her clients very closely. As the Mother-of-the -Bride (twice in 17 months!) I can say she has made it an art form to please both the mother AND the bride and groom. In our case, our two daughters had very different tastes and styles for their weddings. Amy saw that their vision of how they wanted their special day to be was truly a reflection of each couples personalities. After our wedding weekend in January 2017 in Houston at the Hotel ZaZa (which included a Welcome Dinner, Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony and Reception, and a Sunday Brunch) our guests were again astonished at the over the top creativity and execution of every small detail of the weekend. From the font on the ice bars that matched the napkins and ceremony mints, to the huge vinyl "sticker" that covered a 20 ft. long mirror in a foyer, to the sugar rimmed champagne that greeted our guests, to the execution of our 6 food stations, the over the top sophisticated candy station and hot chocolate bar, and the wedding hashtag written in chocolate on the welcome plate of chocolate covered strawberries in the guest rooms.......oh.....and can we discuss the FLOWER WALL.....clearly no stone was left unturned! I think it was an incredible compliment to Amy when my relatives were seriously trying to compare each of our girls weddings with things like "they were both so fabulous! and "I cant decide which one I liked better.....they were both so different." I believe that alone showed how Amy got to know each of our girls (and their fiancés) so well and wanted to make each wedding weekend so perfect for their tastes. Lastly Amy has become a friend. She is someone you can trust to make sure that the most important day in your daughters life will be just as you hope and expect it will be......and truthfully even better.

I think we hired Amy about 11 months out from our wedding (11.13.16) and right from the get go Amy was literally “on it”. She jumped right into the planning and assisted with so many logistical details with the hotel - advocating for us and our needs, navigated my Mom and I through interviewing and picking the best photographer and videographer, setting all the appointments, and helped us flush out what we were really looking for in these vendors and what we wanted on the day of and in the final product. I loved that Amy consistently made herself available via phone calls, texts, and meetings throughout the week and weekends to get things done. When it came time to do our invitation – Amy saw my frustration as my vision wasn’t coming to life the way I was thinking about it my head – and through a few revisions and discussions – she helped us design and pull together exactly what fit for our wedding! In the end it was gorgeous, as well as all the accompanying pieces. Through the editing process, Amy was absolutely invaluable, in my opinion, ensuring the words and style and format were exactly right on each piece, that all the copy/text was accurate and also working with the printer to ensure the Hebrew that we added was without error. Amy connected us to the best vendors and helped us work through ideas and designs with the florist, the linen lady, and the paper goods – like the itinerary for the welcome bag, menu chargers for the wedding, etc… Throughout the months leading up to our amazing wedding, Amy was always suggesting cute things and details to add to enhance our style of our wedding and the other weekend events, too. We had so much fun pinning tons of ideas on Pinterest and having multiple discussions ensuring everything we were doing fit exactly right with the look and feel of our special day. When it got to the day of – and in advance of the day of – Amy was on top of everything – schlepping things to the hotel – organizing all the vendors, ensuring timelines were accurate and that everyone knew where they needed to be, etc… Amy always has a smile on her face and with positive assertiveness gets things done efficiently! Additionally, since we had a Kosher wedding – Amy was so helpful in working with the Rabbi’s and the Hotel – coordinating between them and ensuring the wedding went off without a hitch. Amy was super fun to work with and always had our best interests at heart ensuring our wedding weekend was a dream come true. Thank you Amy!!

Rarely can a mother-of-a-bride say, "Everything went exactly as I imagined" but these are the first words that come to mind when trying to express how incredible of a job Amy did for my daughters destination wedding in Scottsdale. When Amy and I first connected I could tell from our initial conversation how organized she was and how her attention to detail would make planning a wedding from a different state a pleasure. I made only 2 short trips to Scottsdale. Amy had conversations with my daughter, Gabrielle, to find out what her "vision" was. Even though my daughter claimed she had " no set vision" with Amys guidance they developed what turned into the most wonderful wedding weekend. Amy lead us to the most incredible vendors....from the photographer, to the florist, band, etc. If I had researched every possible choice myself I could not have come up with a better list! Amy is very efficient and truly anticipates all your needs even before you do. She planned a Thursday night dinner with a trolley for our guests, Friday Rehearsal Dinner, Wedding, and Sunday Morning Brunch complete with a Bloody Mary Bar! She handled a multitude of tasks including all of our guest rooms at the resort. The task seemed so overwhelming but she managed everything. There are so many moving parts to an event this big. I truly say, I could not imagine anyone doing such a magnificent job. My guests all stayed at one hotel and the overwhelming comment was how beautifully everything flowed together and how the ENTIRE weekend (not just the wedding) was so much fun and of course gorgeous! Our guests were greeted with the welcome bags that Amy had made for us. Everyone carried these around after enjoying all their treats. Even the welcome note that accompanied the bag was commented on. To say the event was "first class" would be an understatement. I highly recommend using Amy and her team for a wedding. I was truly able to enjoy our daughters wedding. I think one of the best compliments I received was my friends and family commenting how relaxed I was (I am rarely, if ever, described as relaxed!) I owe this all to Amy!! One of the funniest comments came from a relative soon after the wedding. It was "Im worried. How will you ever top this wedding". I said, "dont worry....I would never do a wedding with out Amy! Shell be there for the next one!"
